Part II. International law and legislation of Ukraine. The practice of applying

In 1973 Ukraine ratified the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and thereby recognized the scope of Article 5, which guarantees that "no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."


In 1987 Ukraine ratified the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment; the statement about the individual complaints were made by Ukraine in 2003.
The Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment was ratified by Ukraine in 2006.
Ukraine ratified the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1984) in accordance with its provisions, which develop and clarify the international standards in this area. According to the document Ukraine acknowledged that torture -is any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted by or at the instigation of a public official on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or confession, punishing him for an act he has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating him or other persons. Also the torture are considered actions that are intended to intimidate or coerce human or a third person to do anything, or to perform for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by a public official or other persons who act as official or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence. At the same time, it is necessary to note that the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, 2006 has not been ratified by Ukraine. The Convention declares that no exceptional circumstances whatsoever, they were not a state of war or threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification for enforced disappearance, and the enforced disappearance is considered to be the arrest, detention, abduction or deprivation of liberty any other form of representatives of the State or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the State, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of the law.
The UN General Assembly in 1979 adopted Resolution 34/169 and the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials. Article 5 of the Code provides that no officer of law enforcement can not inflict, instigate or tolerate any act of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, and no officer of law enforcement is not may invoke superior orders or exceptional circumstances such as a state of war or a threat of war, a threat to national security, internal political instability or any other public emergency as a justification of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The prohibition derives from the UN General Assembly Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. This interpretation does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to, lawful sanctions to the extent consistent with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners.
The Article 28 of the Constitution of Ukraine guarantees that "everyone has the right to respect for his dignity. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. No man without his voluntary consent cannot be subjected to medical, scientific or other experiments". These provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine meet the Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948.
The Criminal Code of Ukraine provides the liability for torture, in particular, according to the article 127 of the Criminal Code "Torture - is the intentional infliction of severe physical pain or physical or mental suffering by beatings, torture or other acts of violence to coerce the victim or another person to commit acts contrary to their will, including obtaining from him or another person information or a confession, or to punish him or any other person for acts committed by him or any other person or of which he or another person is suspected, as well as for the purpose of intimidation or discrimination against him or other persons". The article establishes the responsibility for such an act is the imprisonment for the term of 2 to 5 years. The same actions committed repeatedly or by prior agreement by a group of persons, or motivated by racial, ethnic or religious intolerance, shall be punished by imprisonment for a term of 5 to 10 years.
With reference to statistics, jurisprudence, responsibility for torture in Ukraine from 2006, when the keeping of the state register of court decisions (EGRSR) was started to 2012 the first instance judges were issued about 15 judgments under Article 127 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Four judgments were imposed against the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during seven years. An objective explanation of the difference between the number of complaints about the torture and the number of pending court cases and convictions is the application of Art. 365 of the Criminal Code "Abuse of power or official authority."
The persons against whom has been applied Art. 127 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, may be divided into employees of MIA of Ukraine, ordinary citizens, engaged the torture against other persons, the citizens engaged in torture of minors hired workers of against the family members.

The situation has not changed in 2008, when according to official statements of human rights organizations, in particular, the Ukrainian Helsinki Group said, that every 14th Ukrainian experienced the torture by the police, and at least 30% of criminal suspects face torture, by which the police knock the evidence from them. The human rights defenders said, that the police use the torture for the increasing the indicators of the crime detection. According to the information of the representatives of Ukrainian NGOs, the torture has led to the fact that in Ukraine the crime detection is 69%, when in Europe - is 40%, while in the US - 30%. The largest number of the torture by police, the human rights defenders said, occurs at the near railway stations or on the roads by road patrol service of police. However, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights has stated that the courts do not have the courage to make tough decisions with respect to the guilty in this shameful phenomenon as torture. (http://txt.rus.newsru.ua/ukraine/18aug2008/tortury.html)

In 2011 the Ukrainian human rights defenders stated, that every 40 minutes one human in Ukraine is exposed to torture: their statements were based on information from complaints and appeals to them. According to the NGOs information, with the help of cruel bullying police may knock the recognition of any crime. The human rights defender Yevhen Zakharov said: " The problem in scale larger than the tuberculosis epidemic - said the expert. - More than half a million suffer by tuberculosis, and over the past year 800 thousand humans were subjected to torture." The investigation of torture cases are extremely rare and not under Art. 127 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ("Prohibition of Torture"), the human rights defender said.


"They are used mainly in Art. 365, 364 (" Malpractice "or" abuse of power "), - said the expert of Ukrainian Helsinki Group Lyudmila Klochko.

In 2011 the situation with the torture and the participation of the investigators, the question of compliance with the rule of law and discipline among investigators and the goal - to deal with the systemic irregularities in the conduct of investigative actions by investigators in prison - has become a priority for the new Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vitaly Zakharchenko. As follows from the Ukrainian media, torture and murder in detention centers of Ukraine became the common practice, however, despite the obvious deterioration Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights in 2011 officially declared that "every second policeman who committed torture gets real punishment".

The reaction of the society in 2013 to the acquittal of innocent Alexander Bondarenko illustrates the situation with the torture in Ukraine over the past few years: in the district court of the city of Sumy (Eastern Ukraine) for the first time in the history of the Ukraine the courts jury acquitted the human: two librarians and kindergarten together with the two judges decided that the 20-year-old Alexander Bondarenko did not kill two women. Despite the using against Alexander Bondarenko the torture and fabrication of evidence by local investigators, he could prove his innocence. The opinion of the media that the judgment of acquittal, despite the fabrication of criminal prosecution and torture, an uniqueness of the case demonstrates the dynamics of deterioration of the situation with human rights and freedoms in Ukraine, the frequency of torture.

(http://censor.net.ua/news/257973/ukrainskiyi_sud_prisyajnyh_vpervye_vynes_opravdatelnyyi_prigovor_parnya_jestoko_pytali_v_militsii

According to the statistics of Ukrainian human rights defenders at 10 December 2012 more than 1,545 people were detained in Ukrainian detention facility more than 18 months without judgment of guilt; at 1 January 2013 - 1239 people.
According to the information of the Ukrainian NGOs specialists, from among 1545 people 541 (35%) are in detention facility since 2010, 509 people (32.9%) are in detention facility since 2011, 236 people (15.3 %) - since 2009, 71 people - since 2008. More than five years since 2007 in detention facility without judgment of guilt contained 38 people, another 18 - since 2006. The human rights defenders paid particular attention to the unique case: the human has been detained 29 December 2003 in Kherson more than nine years ago. The statistics shows, that people whose guilt has not been proven, continued to be detained despite the expiry of the maximum period of detention. Moreover, the Ukrainian courts at 2012 imposed less than 0.17% of judgment of acquittal - the lowest percentage last 7 years. (http://gazeta.zn.ua/internal/ukraina-strana-oficialno-razreshennyh-pytok-_.html )

The dynamics of deterioration in the human rights situation in Ukraine shows the discussion at the official level the permission of using of torture to certain groups of detainees. Thus, the Ukrainian official of MIA, the adviser Anton Gerashchenko suggested to use torture to people identified as terrorists. (http://joinfo.ua/politic/949214_Verhovnaya-Rada-Ukraini-razreshit-pitat.html )

It should be noted, that the adviser did not take into account that the time of the establishment of the membership of a person in the terrorist group is not more than two days. Moreover, the Adviser has ignored the action of the UN Convention against Torture, which was ratified by Ukraine. According to the information of the Ukrainian human rights defenders, such an initiative, which implies the haste in getting information by Prohibited Methods, officially calling the methods of getting evidence is the torture will be applied to the residents of Eastern Ukraine and will let to avoid responsibility of the executor.

The information of the human rights defenders confirmed by international human rights organizations. According to the Amnesty International (AI), Ukraine in recent years has become the greatest violator among post-Soviet states in the field of torture and abuse in the context of the ordinary criminal justice system. According to the report of the international organization, the serial abuse of Ukrainian law enforcement had documented for many years: every year in Ukraine there were several hundreds of thousands of cases of torture and other abuses. Thus, according to AI, three decades after the adoption of the UN Convention against torture, many governments are tortured disingenuous - they have the law, which ban the torture, but allows to use the torture in practice and allows to avoid responsibility of the executor. . (http://rusvesna.su/news/1399964101)

It should be noted that research of Amnesty International in recent years have demonstrated a large number of torture victims in Ukraine, and the reluctance of the authorities to fully implement systemic changes in legislation to eliminate them. According to the international human rights defenders, the definition of torture in the Criminal Code of Ukraine does not quite match those shown in the Convention, and the need to conduct independent and effective investigations into allegations of torture specified in the Convention, so far ignored by the Ukrainian authorities.
"For many years, these cruel and degrading crimes were committed outside the public attention - victims tortured behind closed doors, police stations or even outside, for example, in the forest, and then the evidence and complaints from victims may be destroyed and rejected by the prosecutors. But the cases of last year - from atrocities in Vradievka to abuse during Euromaidan - show to everyone the degree of irresponsible attitude of the authorities to their international obligations, "indicates an Amnesty International representative in Ukraine in its report in 2014. (http://www.unn.com.ua/ru/news/1341431-uryadi-u-vsomu-sviti-ne-vikonuyut-svoyikh-zobovyazan-schodo-vikorinennya-tortur-amnesty-international)

The experts note that the difficult situation with the torture in Ukraine worsened in 2014.


The widespread have got the use of torture right up the abduction of a person and beating in the streets of Kiev, capital of Ukraine and the degree of the degradation of the relations in society demonstrates the situation with the reporter of the newspaper "Navigator" Sergei Rulev, who suffered from the beatings, torture, humiliation in March 2014. It was the reaction for his independent position in covering the events in Ukraine autumn 2013 - winter 2014, in particular, he suffered for the interview with fighters "Berkut". According to the journalist, he was "caught, squashed and pulled into a tent in front of the House of Trade Unions. There I was insulted, kicked, "" They beat me 4 people, with them was a woman in a headscarf, which is not saying a word, kicked me in the groin. Then I was dragged to the building of Ministry of captured APC, where I was ransacked, they seized my documents, press card, accreditation of the Parliament (Verkhovna Rada), business cards, two phones and two cameras "- continued the reporter. <...> When I was back on the Khreschatyk, I began to scream and call for help, fell to the ground, they kicked me again, but no one responded <...> In the lobby they immediately started to beat me. In the courtyard the unknown people in camouflage clasped my hands, stripped me to the underwear and continued to beat me. They shouted, "caught!", " Berkut "kills us!". After that, the four of us piled on top of me on the floor, something pricked my hand - they say, "Now you're the bitch, will talk, what special services do you work!" - Says the reporter. According to the Rulev, when he was tied up, an unknown woman began to torture him with pliers - to pull the nails. " (http://rian.com.ua/politics/20140305/340522337.html )

The indicative the murder of Sergei Dolgov, Chief Editor of the newspaper "I want in the USSR", who had been abducted by the soldiers of the Ukrainian battalion "Dnepr-1". The journalist's body was found near Dnepropetrovsk, obviously, that he was suffered by torture. According to the information of Dolgov's friends, he was principled journalist, who held a position contrary to the views of the new Kiev authorities. Since the beginning of the armed conflict in the Donbass Dolgov collaborated with the project "White Book". He gathered the information about of violation of human rights by the security forces during the Ukrainian conflict. (http://www.topnews.ru/news_id_69568.html )

According to the research of Amnesty International, during the period from April to June 2014 in the Ukraine in the area of ATO in different regions of the country was stolen about five hundred people, at the same time, the experts paid the attention, the vast majority of the abducted were subjected to violence, torture, bullied and could serve as a "human shield" during the fighting in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
It is important to note that the monitoring mission of the UN Human Rights at the same period announced the other members of the abduction - 222 cases.  The report of Amnesty International, which was presented in July 2014, states that "the abduction occurred throughout eastern Ukraine, including in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Among those who became the target of kidnappings, were not only the police, military and local officials, but also journalists, politicians, activists, members of election commissions and entrepreneurs».(http://www.golos-ameriki.ru/content/amnisty-international/1955765.html )
Experts note that it is appropriate to speak of a sharp deterioration in the human rights situation, increasing the number of cases of torture in Ukraine, starting from February 22, 2014, and provides the detailed statistics of cases of torture and murder during the events of February 22, 2014 and until the completion of this report, which are reflected in the special parts of the report.

VII. Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment

The experts note that in Ukraine the torture, inhuman treatment are widespread and systematic. In its conclusions the experts guided by the explanations of the UN Committee against Torture.

Thus, according to the explanations of the CAT the systematic practice of torture is in the case when the torture cases are documented and are not unique and specific to a particular place or time, and are characterized by habitual, widespread and deliberate at the significant area of the country. On the other hand the torture may have the systematic character, but have not the direct intention of the government. It may be the consequence of the factors which the Government not control, and the practice of the torture may indicate a discrepancy between policy as determined by the government of the country, and its implementation by the local administration.
The systematic character of the practice of the torture may be explained by the gaps in the legislation, which provides opportunities to use the torture. In the analysis of information on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment the experts guided by the principle that each unit of information is evaluated in terms of its relevance; take into account the specificity and accuracy of the degree of detail, its characteristics and source (if known), or additional supporting data and the availability of similar information from other sources. The specialists point out that they reflects the developments in Ukraine in November 2013, describe the situations, the documentary facts, the messages, all the information is presented in the chronological order, accompanying by detailed description, reference, also the specialists consider, that 22 February 2014 is the date, when the conflict started to escalate and the end of the reflected facts is 1 October 2014.

During the analysis of the information the specialists took into account the character of the conflict in Ukraine, the dynamics of the developments, including the participation of the governmental and non-governmental forces in the conflict, taking into account the fact that the both forces used the torture, being the political forces which pretended to the power, and occasionally, the forces were the subject of the power on the controlled territory, such as formed on the Maidan the organization "Right sector" with support of the nationalist ideology.

It is important to note that in the establishment of such movement involved the political parties and the leaders represented in the Parliament of Ukraine, and in the executive branch, and then the movement was used for political goals and the seizure of power in Ukraine, using movement as a force for the pressure on the people who were disagreed with the Nazi ideology, and used the movement as a structure, acting them as the law enforcement bodies of Ukraine. It is important to note that the movement guided by the law of the revolutionary time, which frequently extend beyond of the current legislation of Ukraine, as the non-governmental forces have repeatedly stated, for example 19 March 2014 the group of ultra-right members of the so-called People's Tribunal in Vinnitsa rudely demanded that the chief of the regional children's hospital Tatiana Antonets in connection with her political views (member of the Ukrainian Party of Region) considered her guilty in the "crimes of the previous government." Radicals said that in case of disobedience she will be punished "under the laws of harsh revolutionary time."

Thus, the participants of the nationalist organization «Right sector» acted with impunity and implemented the political will of some political forces, «Right sector» increased its influence and increased the functional that led to the establishment of the so-called National Guard of Ukraine - the power structure, which combined the functions of the current regular army and law enforcement bodies, they acted on behalf of the government forces, acted under the laws of the revolutionary time.

In this connection, the experts consider, it is possible to speak talk about the existence of two subjects of the responsibility: on the one hand - the so-called government forces and on the other hand - non-governmental forces. The duplication of the state institutions has led to the situation when two subjects of responsibility formed and both acted as the authorities.


For example, November 2013 may be identified as the period of formation of the subject, which took over after the authorities’ functions, and on this basis has shared the responsibility along with government forces for compliance with Art. 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the CAT and the Optional Protocol to the Convention, adopted by Resolution 57/199 of the General Assembly of 18 December 2002, as well as for the implementation of the provisions of the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 on the protection of Civilian Persons in Time of war and the Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 relating to the protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts (Protocol II) of 8 June 1977.
